I'm feeling it Dean. I agree. I have been thinking a lot of that lately. I am thinking about how our fear gets expressed. Sometimes defensive, many times offensive. Neither is wisdom if coming out of our fear. You've been taking a break from here. I miss the ideas. Keep 'em coming.

Great quotation.  I also like the bit of poetry or litany that you included.

I've seen this. I don't like the way that the fearful hide behind a claim of wisdom to mask their inaction and avoid good risk.
